Whenever there is a site downtime, I don’t really panic too much about it because this is not the first time and whenever it happens, it always come back after some time. The only problem is that, you can’t tell when the site will go off and when it’ll be back.
I'm planning on upgrading the main servers sometime in the next few months. (Just as part of standard maintenance: there will be no user-visible changes other than perhaps slightly improved speed.) Maybe that'll fix it just by virtue of moving things to different areas.
I hope this solves the problem when done. I believe this have made many users scare out on what could have been the case of the forum that it’s facing downtime for too long and more often unlike before.
